Grasshopper Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) Gaby's apology is a bit like The Alcoholic who apologizes for beating the shit out of his wife "over the last few weeks" ignoring the fact that his irresponsible drinking over the last 5 years brought him to that point Edited November 14, 2016 by Grasshopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bannedfromHandV Posted November 14, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2016 Gabby's apology was so sincere that despite having nothing to do but try and get/stay fit he still had to be placed on a special fat burning regime when Bruce took over. Just what had he been doing between the end of last season and Bruce's appointment? I get that he may have been demotivated having been (rightly) told to pack his bags and piss off somewhere else but yet again, it speaks volumes for his respect for the club, the shirt and its fans. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying they were great I'm just saying that to say Bruce has achieved more already is a bit silly really. That's not to say Bruce won't achieve more in the future, possibly very soon in fact, but he isn't there yet.

So what you are saying that rather than him being an idiot, he has been scamming Villa for the past 5 seasons? Rather than making poor judgements, he has been intentionally causing harm to the club? If that's the case, he deserves my hatred too. He is worse than Delph! Yes, that is better. You have totally convinced me, so I have bought my ticket for the Gabby hate train too. Begone, Satan! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intentionally is probably a bit strong. Consciously however, without a doubt. he's known exactly what he's been doing and he's fully aware of the effect it would have on himself and the club. Poor judgements? you've got to be having a laugh. Edited November 14, 2016 by Woodytom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I simply want to say that if he helps us to promotion, that will be great, and fair play to him and Bruce. But that is his job, and a job we pay him handsomely to do, and whatever he does now, I cannot and will not forgive his behaviour over the last few seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stratvillan Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Genuine thought, At the risk of defending Flabby, short of walking through Aston naked while we throw bricks at him, what is he supposed to do now to redeem himself. you are not allowed to say not be shit over the last 5 years, or he shouldn't have let himself go, that's like saying Westwood should have learnt to tackle, or Hutton learnt how to cross, Guzan learnt how to catch, Gestede to control a ball etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 How very depressing. Just opened on topic and the first thread is this one and the second thread is Joey Barton. So depressing as a villa fan to have the two most recent threads about these players 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm genuinely not interested in forgiving him. In the grand scheme of the world, his actions are far from criminal. I just literally have no time for him at all.

You could argue, at least at some stage in his villa career he made a positive contribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with gabby it's more than a little bit possible that he had a major negative impact on the whole team for years..... choosing which managers he wanted to work for and which others he didn't.... and influencing others accordingly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahah, as I said... I knew what the next steps would be, went from making the basal premise of the original post that "I have not even heard him apologise" to "|MINIMAL APOLOGY". LMAO!!! What is a MAXIMUM apology, how do we grade this? However, I know that none of these things really matter, as you lot are just like Fox News for Republicans and CNN for Democratics. Some of you just hate the guy and it wouldn't make a difference if he started farting rampant lions and AVFC badges. It is actually kinda funny.

He is no better or worse than a lot of players we have or had. As for the weight issue, it seems to be more a matter of ignorance and negligence on his part. It just seems that the hatred for him seems a little over the top, usually reserved for someone who chops the heads off kittens or firebombs children's parties. He plays for Villa, yet he is hated more than any opposition player. Despite how it seems, I don't think we have the full story to base such strong feelings towards him. Apologies for the sarcasm before. I will try and curb it back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
